🚨 Colon Cancer: Silent but Preventable
🚨 കൊളോൺ ക്യാൻസർ: നേരത്തെ കണ്ടെത്തിയാൽ രക്ഷിക്കാം

When Vishu arrives, can we really say no to payasam? 😄

From Ada Pradhaman to Palada, Parippu to Semiya —
there’s always room for “just one more,” isn’t it?

While you celebrate this beautiful festival with family and food, here are a few gentle reminders from our doctors:

🥄 Think before going for that extra serving
🚶‍♂️ Avoid lying down right after sadya — a short walk helps
💧 Drink enough water (payasam is not a substitute!)
🌙 Keep your dinner light and simple

Let payasam be a part of your Vishu —
but not stomach discomfort!

💬 Tell us in the comments: Which is your favorite payasam?

Wishing you and your family a joyful and healthy Vishu 🌼✨

Happy Easter from V.G. Saraf Memorial Hospital, Kochi!
As families gather this Easter Sunday and communities celebrate together, we find ourselves reflecting on what truly matters — hope, healing, and the people we love.

▎ Easter is the season of renewal. New beginnings. The quiet courage it takes to hope, even when things are hard. At our hospital, we see that courage
every single day — in patients who face uncertainty with grace, in families who show up for each other without fail, in our doctors and nurses who carry
compassion into every ward, every morning, without exception.

▎ Health is not just the absence of illness. It is the presence of hope. The warmth of being cared for. The joy of being alive and surrounded by love.

▎ To every family in Kochi and beyond — may this Easter bring you renewed health, deep joy, and a heart full of peace. You deserve all of it.

▎ ഈസ്റ്ററിന്റെ ഹൃദ്യമായ ആശംസകൾ! 🌿
▎ ആരോഗ്യം. പ്രത്യാശ. സന്തോഷം.

🦵 Is joint pain holding you back from living your life?

Knee or hip pain that has been worsening over months — especially in older adults — may be a sign that it's time
to explore your options.

When is joint replacement considered?
- Severe pain that limits daily activities like walking, climbing stairs, or sleeping
- Pain that persists even at rest
- Stiffness that reduces range of motion
- When medicines and physiotherapy no longer provide relief

What is joint replacement surgery?
Joint replacement is a well-established procedure where the damaged joint surface is replaced with an implant —
restoring movement and significantly reducing pain. Most patients return to normal daily activities within weeks
of surgery.

If you or a loved one has been living with chronic joint pain, a consultation with an orthopedic specialist is the
right first step.
